Port of GCC and relevant tools providing a UNIX-like API on top of the Win32 API. http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ IDE distributed with an MS Windows port of GCC and the Mingw32 runtime library. http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html A free version of Borland's C++ compiler is now available for download from: http://www.inprise.com/bcppbuilder/freecompiler/ lcc-win32 is a free C compiler available for 32-bit Windows. http://www.cs.virginia.

Well, firstly we are developing a Windows user interface. This will be Win-32, i.e. it will run under Windows 95 and Windows NT. But since the compiler is a non-graphical application, and the DOS interface runs quite happily under all flavours of Windows already, it has not been as high a priority as making sure that the basic functionality is top-notch. In other words, we believe an excellent compiler with a DOS front-end is better than an average compiler with a Windows front end. See similar questions...

MS Windows support is relatively recent, and still experimental; Freeciv was originally written for Unix and the X window system, and is, in fact, extremely portable across Unix versions. One option is to install a Unix variant on your PC (such as Linux) and use that. The Freeciv client is unable to open a window on your local X display. Are you running an X server at all? Maybe you need to install and run one, or switch to a Freeciv that doesn't need X; see the previous question. See similar questions...

There is some work being done to create a free port of XFree86 to Microsoft Windows. However, in the mean time, if you need to run X on such a platform you'll need to use one of the available commercial servers. One of the commercial products, X Appeal, is from an XFree86 sponsor and is a port of the XFree86 servers to MS-DOS. They also have a freely available demo version. X11R6.3 does include some support for MicroSoft Windows NT. See similar questions...

The easiest way is to buy the distribution CD from the IEEE Student Branch ($5 for IEEE members, $10 for non). It contains the Cygwin (GNU) C++ compiler, the Insight debugger, the "Teaching Machine" and instructional videos. If you have a fast internet connection and don't want the videos etc., you can go to Cygwin's site and click on the "Install Now!" icon. Be sure to install at least the following packages: See similar questions...

There are two current/ongoing projects to produce an "open source" and/or GNU compiler. For one, see the project "COBOL for GCC". This site also includes a status on various other "open source" projects. There is a freely available COBOL compiler for DOS. It can be found on many archive sites, named COBOL650.ZIP. You also need DPATH30.ZIP. Have a read through Section 8 before you start. It is widely rumored that the sources for this compiler are available from a BBS. See similar questions...

Updated March 9, 2007:) Wenlin 3 does run on MS-Windows Vista. There is one known problem with a particular hardware configuration (Mobile Intel 945GM Express, driver version 7.14.10.1138, driver date 8/23/2006). It appears that Vista has an incompatibility with that display driver (not with Wenlin per se), which prevents parts of the Stroking Box from being displayed; strokes are cut off at the right edge.

This is a known error in Wenlin 2.0 running on some MS-Windows systems. It was fixed starting with Wenlin 2.1. If you are still using 2.0, you can download the latest update 2.x free of charge from www.wenlin.com/update.htm. See similar questions...

Yes. R:Compiler 7.6 for Windows is available for developers who would like to compile their R:BASE 7.6 for Windows applications along with the RBG76.exe to create one distributable executable. See similar questions...

Wine's goal is to make it possible to run Windows applications on Unix. To this end it will provide replacements for just those DLLs and APIs that are needed by these Windows applications. This means that Wine will not provide replacements for DLLs that are not shipped with Windows or are always shipped with Windows application (e.g. the Visual Basic run time). This also means that implementing an API that no application ever uses is not a priority. See similar questions...

Since there have been several requests for a Fortran to C translator in the past week, I'm reposting the announcement about f2c. The short answer is you can get f2c by anonymous-ftp from netlib.att.com in directory dist/f2c. Source for f2c, a Fortran 77 to C translator jointly developed by folks from Bell Labs, Bellcore, and Carnegie Mellon, is now freely available. See similar questions...

A popular and high-quality free C compiler is the FSF's GNU C compiler, or gcc. An MS-DOS port, djgpp, is also available. As far as I know, there are versions of gcc for Macs and Windows machines, too. A very inexpensive MS-DOS compiler is Power C from Mix Software, 1132 Commerce Drive, Richardson, TX 75801, USA, 214-783-6001. A shareware MS-DOS C compiler is available from ftp.hitech.com.au/hitech/pacific. Registration is optional for non-commercial use. Archives associated with the comp. See similar questions...

Currently, Helix is only available for the Macintosh. QSA ToolWorks plans to develop a multi-platform version of Helix (Helix 7) following the release of Helix 6. No timetable is currently available, but it is a top priority See similar questions...

PremiumWare has been Windows? compatible since it's inception in 1994. Originally, it was operational in the Windows 3.X environment before converting to 32-bit for Windows9X and WindowsNT. PremiumWare is committed to ensuring full operational compatibility with Microsoft products and operating systems. See similar questions...

When invoking Wine, you must specify the entire path to the executable, or by file name only. For example to run Windows' solitaire, type any of the following: The path of the file will also be added to the path when a full name is supplied on the command line. If you have a DOS partition, first make sure that you have mounted it, either by putting the entry into /etc/fstab, or by manually mounting it. See similar questions...

The short answer to this is: no, not automatically and not directly. That is to say, Microsoft Windows and Linux applications cannot run the same applications because they are not designed in the same way. However, there are some ways to run programs for Microsoft Windows on Linux using emulators and other means. See similar questions...
